Hiatus

I'm sorry to say I'm unlikely to be blogging much over the next week or so. My dear mother - until Sunday a very active and fully independent 88-year-old - suffered a double stroke on that day, and is in hospital, in a very bad way. We await developments and, to be honest, pray for her release, as she could not bear to live with the degree of impairment and dependence that would inevitably follow this.

    I am so sorry to hear about your mother. As you may remember, I had to move back home from London because my own mother had a severe stroke last year. I have read every book and talked to so many people. If I can help in any way or answer any questions please email me anytime at madfolly@gmail.com. My prayers are with you and your mother.
